Lyle Overbay is a number eight hitter at best. Is the manager actually bragging about that like he's such a good hitter? If I could I would bat him 10th. I've got more confidence in any of the pitchers than Overbay to get a hit.

Jeff Bianchi, " I need to check my options with my agent and wife? What? Lets see I can go to triple A or go and have a future at selling used cars. You hit .145 you have no options. Some people can hit MLB pitching and some can (Matt Gamel) They do not last long. You can tear up the minors but when you come to the show you may get one or two chances then back to the real world like the rest of us.

The Brewers have set themselves up like the Tampa Bay Rays! This team get's No Respect from the National Pundits. But, this their ML Ball Club and Minor League System have gotten as Strong as a team can get in terms of Pitching! We have Starters and Relievers that are High End Quality! I hope Doug Melvin was planning to Trade Gallardo and/or either Lohse or Estrada! The reason I say this is because if your watching the Minor League Season, you'd see the Brewers have an abundance of Pitcher's having Great Seasons! Tyler Thornburg,Jimmy Nelson,and Will Smith are all Capable of being Top of the Rotation Starters and all 3 are ready now for the Roles! Obviously Thornburg and Smith would have to be stretched out a bit and we'd have to find a viable replacement for them both in the Bullpen! Will Smith had his Development Rushed by the Royals.(What a steal)And since he started throwing that Devastating Slider, that NOBODY can hit,Right or Left Handed,he now has legit Ace stuff! Jed Bradley,Taylor Jungmann,Mike Fiers,Brad Mills,Drew Gagnon,Tyler Cravy,and Bren Suter could be moved up or given a shot Today! Others like, Damien Magnifico,Ariel Pena,Tyler Wagner,Hobbs Johnson,Brooks Hall and even Jorge Lopez are all having Very Good Season and make up 1 of the Best set of Farm System arms the Brewers have had in a long time! I haven't even brought up "The Kid" yet! Devin Williams is still on the way too! We will still have Depth, even after trading Gallardo and either Lohse or Estrada! GO BREWERS!! Remember, we're a Draft & Develop team! We can't pay Top of the Market Contracts so we have to trade at the right time!! MLB and Large Market Owners have made sure of that!! GO BREWERS!!
